Alternative solutions to deal with discharges of wadis in Morocco

Africa

The project area is characterized by a beach consisting of medium sand and pebbles enclosed by headlands. The headlands are steep cliffs rising up to 30 m. A river mouth is debouching at the project site. The river has distinct wadi characteristics. During most of the year it is dry. However, heavy rainfall can lead to high discharges carrying large amounts of sediment. In addition, two more wadis debouch at the project sit...

Ship maneuvring simulation at port of Itajai, Brazil

South America

With the rapid development of the computer technology and its successful application in ship engineering, the method of computer simulation using the mathematical models becomes more and more popular. It provides a convenient tool for predicting ship maneuverability at the design stage. One of the preconditions for applying this kind of method is the modeling of equations describing the maneuvering motion. To investigate ...
